South Carolina Burials, Augusta, Ga

In Magnolia Cemetery, Augusta, Ga., is a Confederate section with 236 graves, all of the interments being identified except for five unknowns. The graves are marked by small marble headstones which give the name of the soldier, and in the majority of the cases, his state. However, except when the original markers have been replaced with VA-issued tombstones, there is no information as to unit or date of death. All of the interments appear to have been made during the war, or perhaps immediately thereafter. It was not used to bury veterans postwar.

Those interments with a South Carolina connection include the follwoing:
